Pumpkin Patch

Tuesday night we went to the Pumpkin Patch with the Moores.  It was really cold, but the kids were troopers and just ran around enough to stay warm.  Kate and I finally got too cold, and went and sat in the car till the rest were ready to go, but even we lasted for quite a while.  The kids loved the petting zoo, we went for a hay ride, the cow train was a blast (they rode around in that for the longest time), we watched pig races, ate yummy mini donuts, and just enjoyed being out with friends. 

This was our first time trying out The Farmstead (there are three different local pumpkin patches).  It's a family tradition to go every year and pick our own pumpkins.  Well, the Farmstead had a ton of fun things to do, but did not have pumpkins to pick.  Aaron just lost it when it was time to go home and he hadn't picked a pumpkin.  I mean, really lost it.  He was so upset the whole way home.  So, as we pulled into the driveway, Scott unloaded Kate, Owen, and Savannah, and I headed to Albertsons with Josh, Sara, Nate, and Aaron where we bought each kid a pumpkin.  And then all was well.
